Jores Okore

[Monty]

The thing which strikes me most about him is his pace. Given how bad our defensive positioning was last season, a defender with the speed to recover and cover for others strikes me as an altogether agreeable option.

Agree Monty and as someone else pointed out in an earlier post, raw pace is something that our other defenders don't really possess.

[Monty]

They don't even possess cooked pace. Raw slowness is what they possess, Vlaarker. Unbridled turgidity.

Looks awesome in this clip No wonder Chelsea wanted him. Fast, strong, brave and can pass it too

I would recommend anyone who hasn't watched that clip to do so. Better than the usual montages, it's just a clip of him from one game.

He looks fantastic and still only 20. This is an utterly brilliant signing, Lambert has certainly surprised me in a very postive way. Very, very impressed about the way Villa have gone about these signings.

It reminds me of those long forgotten days of my youth when I really looked forward to opening my presents on Christmas Day... its certainly coming early this year!

If we do all our business this early, that means we can spend the rest of the summer just, err, relaxing, as we've finished already.







OMG what the fuck are we going to argue about? what will we do?

[Monty]

Don't worry Paulie. I'm sure other clubs will be signing, I don't know, Jermaine Beckford or Steven Taylor, and some on here will be saying that they 'could've done a job for us'. And there's always NRC.

How is Vancouver Whitecaps working out for him?

[Louzie0]

I like the look of him in the video looks a really good player welcome to Aston Villa Jores.

Me too.

He's found his level. King of the team huddle.

There's always the new kit, MON and Doug.

I'd go for MON every time, because we don't have enough threads about him.

[The Left Side]

Great signing this by the sounds of it, hope he is another Laursen.

Captain now, DeMerrit got injured first game of the season. Definitely found his level, still crap!! Lot's of pointing & shouting, huffing & puffing not much else in a league where Andy O'Brien's like Bobby Moore!

Cracking signings today, over the moon, well done AVFC.

[Jarpie]

Okore sounds like a cracking signing, I hope he hits the ground running and I think he's capable of that. IMO some in here are a bit too harsh on NRC, he's not the worst player but a very limited one from the bygone-era.

I hope he's another McGrath.
